Placenta Encapsulation

Placenta encapsulation is a way to further support new mothers in the early postpartum period. The process includes dehydrating the placenta overnight, grinding it into a powder, and putting it in capsules. I’m certified with an OSHA compliant blood born pathogens training.

When you request the placenta encapsulation, I will come and collect the placenta from the hospital, birthing center, or your home. I work out of her home and will return the placenta as soon as it’s ready (24-48 hours). Depending on the size and weight of the placenta, you will receive 80-120 pills. The pills can be taken in the early postpartum period for as long as desired throughout the first year.

The placenta transports nutrients to the fetus during gestation, as well as producing and regulating hormones. Proponents believe that the placenta retains some of these substances after delivery and that the consumption of the placenta by the mother can help her recover more quickly following childbirth by replenishing nutrients and hormones lost. Newly postpartum women can ingest their placentas, whose benefits may include:

• Vitamin B6 and B12
• Iron
• Progesterone
• Estrogen
• Oxytocin
• Cortisone
• Prolactin (Promotes Lactation)
